Now she is having another try, launching a package of measures on high pay, workers’ rights and corporate governance to mark her return to the political stage after the summer break. Mrs May’s concern about these issues is right and rational. The most obvious of these is Mrs May’s loss of political authority since her June general election debacle. Yet all too few Tory MPs embraced Mrs May’s ideas even when she was strong, let alone now that she is weak. Too much of the Tory party remains smugly beguiled by laissez-faire dogmas, in spite of the massive evidence of their failings.
